MIYAGEN Trail Engineering Tenugui PCT MAP
◾︎Spec
Weight: 31g
Material: 100% cotton
Country of origin: Japan
◾︎ About the design
I am a 2022 PCT hiker.
A friend who is a climber, traveler and a print designer designed the map.
This PCT MAP was drawn on a tenugui towel to give a rough idea of the approximately 4,200km of the Pacific Crest Trail in the United States.
Information on PCT Association trail courses and points of interest is provided, with light green representing nature reserves and green representing national forests. The pink areas near Tuolomee Meadow are areas where bear canisters are mandatory.
Most PCT hikers start at the Mexican border in the spring when the snow melts and head for the Canadian border until the snow falls. I would be happy if you could imagine a long journey of 4200km.
Japanese tenugui can be very compact, but it absorbs a lot of water and dries quickly because the edges are not sewn. It's easy to change its shape, so you can wrap it around your head, use it as a neck gaiter, wipe off condensation from your tent, or take it to a hot spring. You can use it freely.
This product has a very simple design, but has the above background. A piece of cloth is dyed with skillful techniques. Please enjoy this deep color and fluctuation. The more you use it, the more supple it becomes and it will become familiar with your skin.
I used this tenugui in PCT to look like an old map.
■Instructions about the product
Since the edges of the Japanese tenugui are left uncut, they will fray at the beginning of use. The fraying will stop as you wash it. Cut off any frayed threads, leaving about 2-3 cm.
By leaving it uncut, you can maintain quick-drying performance and prevent the growth of bacteria. It can be cut and used in an emergency such as an injury.
■ Precautions for use
This product uses reactive dyes. Although it is a dye that does not easily transfer or fade, please be sure to wash your hands before use. Please wash separately from other items when washing. If you wear it while wet, there is a possibility of dye transfer, so please wash it several times before wearing it around your neck. Since the fabric is thin, we recommend using a laundry net in the washing machine.
